This is our unashamedly biased guide to Hackney and beyond, outrageously skewed to our book-loving, gallery-visiting, food-munching tastes. Featuring beautiful photography, understated design and high production values, this guide book is small but perfectly formed and is an ideal accompaniment to any East London outing – whether you’ve lived in the area for years, live elsewhere in London but want to explore the city, or especially if you happen to be visiting for the first time.

This tightly curated selection gives over 50 suggestions for where to eat, sleep, shop and drink that you won’t necessarily find in your regular travel guide. Includes two gatefold maps with key as well as a suggested itinerary for a ‘perfect weekend’ and a notes section at the back for all your plans.
